Motorcycle Ride to Tan Hill via Buttertubs Pass including Drone footage, Fat Lad on a Bike
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มี.ค. 2019
- In this episode we ride through the Yorkshire Dales National Park through Bolton Abbey onto Burnsall where we stop off at the Red Lion Hotel and Manor House.
After a very scenic break we continue on through Grassington and onto Kettlewell where we have another quick break.
Next its onto Hawes and then ride the Buttertubs Pass where we stop and look at the 20-metre-deep (66 ft) limestone potholes called the Buttertubs. It is said that the name of the potholes came from the times when farmers would rest there on their way to market. During hot weather they would lower the butter they had produced into the potholes to keep it cool.
And finally this amazing route of breathtaking roads and scenery finishes at the Tan Hill Inn.
The Tan Hill Inn is the highest inn in the British Isles at 1,732 feet (528 m) above sea level.
And makes a good subject for the DJI Mavic Pro drone footage I managed to take. Enjoy !!! AND PLEASE SUBSCRIBE BELOW

We often go to Tan Hill via Whorlton Old Toll Bridge down to the A66 , turn left at the Barrass turn off and it’s only a few miles to Tan Hill Inn . Then we return via the Reeth Route !
Real great roads aren't they, thanks for watching fella Ride Safe.

Brilliant Steve, did Hawes, buttertubs and Tan Hill in July last year on route up to Scotland. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

Great video mate and fantastic editing. Wish i had been there with you.
Pleased you enjoyed it Paul and thanks for watching.
Gt vid mate...lovely day out..
Thanks for watching fella pleased you enjoyed it
Great. The map was a nice touch, put the ride into perspective :-)
Thanks for watching fella pleased you enjoyed it, I do like to put maps up on vids as it shows people where we have been in case others wish to ride the same route. RIDE SAFE MATE
Nice video, I live and work there, so blinking lucky, my job allows me to ride around these beautiful villages on my tracer 900.
Buttertubs is so named for the sink holes that local farmer used to use for storage of excess butter, the cool temps kept it fresh.
Thanks for watching my friend and appreciate the info. You lucky lucky fella. 👍
Steve Clark I could show you miles of beautiful roads in the dales and across the moors, I have my mates from the midlands come up here on their bikes they love it, ride safe.🏍👍
I did a bit of a tour of Yorkshire back in July. Stunning scenery.
I went and saw the viaduct on the buttertubs pass, but enjoyed the cliff road before much more. Unfortunately, I didn't make it up to tan Hill on this trip.
Maybe next time. Cheers again for the great videos
Always a good excuse to do it again lol thanks again for watching fella
@@Steve-Clark already looking at next year.
I had a triumph Daytona that did the same Steve, every time we stopped and it was hot the bike would have a "wee" apparently the water heats up and expands blah blah blah, so glad I got rid of it 18 months ago lol
I've seen it happen now twice lol but it doesn't seem to bother Russ so hey ho 😂
Nice ride out Steve. My grandad came from near Kettlewell, West Scrafton in Coverdale 👍
Such a beautiful part of the country John was a cracking ride out that day.
good fun stuff nothing daft but loads of banter perfect !
Cheers Tom a top day that was.
Just seen this we have just come back from there this weekend loved it
Great roads John we are going to revisit some time, ride safe my friend.
I put you on the big screen and its like I'm on the ride with you, really neat.
Scary sight me life size ha ha again pleased you enjoyed it my friend
Amazing pictures, it’s are go to place for ride out and a cuppa ☕️

Loved watching this, especially as it’s what we can’t do just now (Lockdown)
Pleased you enjoyed it and it's helped out a little. Thanks for watching and stay safe my friend 👍
@@Steve-Clark This is me with my bike currently! At least one can drink beer without the danger of falling off! th-cam.com/video/zE3LTHv-eYM/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful scenery Steve, hope to head up that way in the next few weeks on my new Ducati Monster 1200s :)
You'll love it John ENJOY !!!!
good blog pal, keep em coming.
Thanks for watching Neale pleased you enjoyed it lots more to come mate ride safe fella 👍
To be fair, we've got really good road across UK and the speed limit is reasonable for reasonable bikers. Keep up the good rideouts folks - have fun and be safe!
Thanks for watching my friend and you are quite right we do have some great roads in the UK that we keep finding out , Ride safe buddy
Steve! I’ve told you before, bring your bike and friends to Montana and I’ll show you so many more spectacular view that you won’t remember them all. I’m not saying the British country side isn’t beautiful cuz it is, I’ve been there. It is breathtaking, but you don’t have the Rockies!
Again, another great video! Looked a little bumpy. Keep up the good work and ride safe!
What kind of airplane was that? Fast!
Would love that fella maybe one day eh and dont know what type of plane it was, was to busy ducking down lol.
Heyup ,the long drop into Hawes,,I went down it once in neutral 2up on a cbx 6 cylinder ,it hit an indicated 115mph 🤣
Holy cow 😳😲🤣😂 nice one 👍
Love Tan Hill,,,,fantastic Video m8,,,,
Cheers Colin it's a cracking run out there 👍
Great route. Love bolton abbey.
Thanks Bob and it certainly is a great route
Steve, @26:00 that's the bridge that collapsed when there was a "bit" of rain the other month. Is it only a coincidence that you, Fat Lad on a Bike, had ridden over it ? LOL . Cracking views up that way, the drone footage is an extra view point.
Wow did not know about the bridge Bob thanks for that
@@Steve-Clark , the day before the bridge got washed away me and a mate went from Hawes to Thwaite BUT we then turned left to Kirkby Stephen so it wasn't my fault either!! And that was a good day weatherwise.
Another great video. Going to add Tan Hill to my list for this year just for the views alone..!
Thanks for watching my friend and yeah go for it you'll love it
The Silver Fox Travels Great it’s part of The Coast to Coast and you can sign the Coast to Coast form at Tan Hill.
Another great one! some fantastic scenery! Enjoying watching from Australia.
Thanks for watching and as always great to have a subscriber on the other side of the world. Cheers
Thanks for sharing. The rocky outcrop after Grassington is Kilnsey Crag. The Tan Hill pub is sadly no more due to a major fire.
Gutted to hear that. When did that happen. There's pictures in the Yorkshire post on the 11th?? Of snow around it, not a fire!
My bad mixed it up with Hartside
@@ThatYorkshireChap phew, definitely need to get back up there, thanks for updating 😁
Thanks for watching Ian and the info about Kilnsey Crag appreciate it. And as for the fire another subscriber told me that it had burnt down but have found out since it was not Tan Hill thanks for confirming it. Ride Safe fella
Cracking Vid Steve, do those roads 2 or 3 times a year and never get bored of the views..
Pleased you enjoyed it David it is a cracking route and I will be doing it again my friend, Ride Safe fella 👍
You'll have to let us know when you do this again steve and we'll tag along if you don't mind
@@karlbennett6064 No problem you'd be welcome but don't know if it's gonna be this year, will defo let you know if we do tho 👍🏍
Spot on Steve. I love it round there and being more local to the area than you, I should take advantage of the roads more often, but for some reason we seem to think further away is better. I think not in this case. You had some good weather there mind, normally its blowing a hooly over Tan Hill 😆
Thanks for watching Nick and if I lived closer would be riding those roads regularly, really great days run out this one. Ride Safe fella
Great video. I like to see the road numbers and place names when you're riding through such fantastic scenery.
Pleased you enjoyed it John thanks for watching my friend
Hi Steve, I really enjoyed this video, I live close to the Yorkshire Dales and you made me think how lucky I am. As soon as the weather improves (its been sleeting/raining outside today) I'm off up to Tan Hill. By the way that dry river is the upper reaches of the river Wharfe. In the Summer it often appears dry because the terrain is limestone which has lots of cracks and fissures and when water levels are low the river flows underground. There are lots of caves in the area like "Buttertubs" because of the limestone , all the best
Thanks for watching Ekim you are so lucky living where you do. Thanks very much also for the information about the river and how it flows underground, very interesting my friend. Ride Safe buddy
Ekim Rewop Yes Mike we are so blessed to have such beautiful Yorkshire Countryside and beauty !
Thanks for this mate, used to go up there in my youth. Need to go again now 😁
Thanks for watching fella and I will defo be returning to this one, ride safe mate
Great to see you again pal. Another great ride out a pleasure to watch. In a bit
Thanks for watching Keith pleased you enjoyed it mate. in a bit

Thanks Colin was a great day out

I've started saying it.. When I put a tenner in the tank. Just need to do a muzzer.. Top lad.. Keeping it real. Happy days Steve
🤣 great lad Mussy but tight as #@@$ stay safe David
Thank you so much Steve for another inspiring motorcycle video
Thanks for watching Joe (liking your TH-cam name lol) and thank you for the positive comment fella
A great video of a great part of the country. I'm from North Yorkshire so know the area really well as I've ridden around there a lot and it was great to see places like Hawks and Reeth. I loved the drone footage, it's made me want to get one.
Thanks for watching Paul appreciate it and the drone is a cracking addition to the camera equipment giving me another perspective. Ride safe my friend
Paul Wilshere Reeth is pronounced Reef , they even closed Barclays Bank 🏦 down at Reeth . The Reeth Show is well worth a visit , it gets very busy then.
Another cracking vid Steve, great job, much appreciated.
Thanks for watching fella and the positive comment it keeps me wanting to do more which is on the way my friend. Ride Safe mate
Great video Steve, great roads nice and steady with some great scenery
Cheers Neil and thanks for watching fella was a great run out
Thoroughly enjoyed that Steve. Thanks Peter
Thanks Peter and pleased your having a little look at some back catalogue video's stay safe friend.
Excellent, no bike have I, but a convertible. So it's up in the Pennines before long can also do some camera work as well. There's some great lanes in Lancashire up in the hills. Subbed looking forward to more rides, give me some ideas for trips out.
Thanks for watching Peter and wether it be bike or car these roads are amazing, ENJOY my friend and thanks for the sub
Great vid, keep em coming Steve. Really do look forward to watching your vids.
Thanks for watching and the positive comment friend Ride Safe
I live in Harrogate so I ride these roads every week, very lucky to live so close to great roads and lovely scenery.
Also, not sure if you know but at the roundabout where you turned to Bolton Abbey, if you had gone straight over, in about 500 yards there is a cracking biker cafe called Route 59. Worth a visit.
Thanks Mark for watching and also for letting me know about the biker cafe will bear that in mind next time. And yeah you are very lucky living so close to all that fella
The Drone is great and country side is beautiful.
Really enjoy flying the drone especially in countryside like that 👍
Thank you for sharing. Great weather, great roads and great company. As good as it gets. Cheers.
Thanks David pleased you enjoyed it mate.
Lovely country-side ... Great ride ... Thanks for showing! ... Greetings from Austria!
Thanks for watching my friend pleased you enjoyed it and wow all the way from Austria 👍 ride safe fella

Fabulous video, makes me want to jump on the bike right now. Been years since I went up that way. Thank you.
Pleased you enjoyed it Richard, ride safe my friend.
Nice beginning Mate, fantastic scenery, thank pothole was amazing thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching pleaseed you enjoyed it, just fancied a different start on this one lol and potholes were amazing ride safe friend
Thanks for the video. Its where I learnt to ride many years ago.
Thanks for watching Bernie really great roads my friend ride safe
Enjoyed the video , been on these roads a few times . Let's hope we have another great summer 😎😎😎
Thanks for watching Bob and agree lets hope for a great summer for riding
Ahh .... the Summer, I remember it well... Great video Steve. Lovely drone work and photography as always. Incidentally, for your mate with the Street Triple the original clamps on the coolant hoses are known to be a problem, plenty about it on the internet.
Thanks for watching Paul and the positive comments will let Russ know about the clamps but it never seems to bother him ha, if it was my bike I'd be on it straight away. Ride safe bud
Ha Ha !! I think it will bother him one day if his bike keeps taking a 'wee' and he never tops the coolant back up...! I've not seen the clamps but apparently it's difficult to get them tight enough to stop any leaks without overtightening them and crushing / fracturing the hoses?? Used to work around cars in a previous life...seen too many Head Gaskets blown and worse from overheating to ignore leaking rads / hoses.
Brilliant again mate,pictures at the end are amazing.👍
Cheers Mark Thanks for watching and the positive comment on the photo's appreciate it fella. Ride safe mate
Just found your channel, excellent vid. Ridden many of those roads. 👍
Thanks for watching fella appreciate it and this was a great run out. More to come my friend 👍
Wow, first time I’ve watched one of your vids, stunning scenery. Subscribed and gonna watch some more 👍👍
Thanks for watching and subscribing my friend appreciate it, hope you enjoy the others fella. Ride safe mate
Lovely mate, I’m from Leeds so done that trip a few times. Lovely roads especially on cracking days. Ride safe

Your back, glad to see you again. Get to see part of England I haven't seen before.Looks like great ride, Thank you again for great Video's.
Thanks for watching as usual Joesph it was a cracking ride 👍
Yes Weardale is very underrated too, like St Johns Chapel , Nenthead , Alston Cumbria etc.
Visited there 2 years ago with my wife on our Bandit 1250... amazing riding all around that area and even more impressive watching it thru the eyes of your drone footage mate. Thx for sharing Buddy.
Thanks for watching Mark and it is a great run out isn't it. And was pleased with way the drone footage turned out. ride safe buddy
@@Steve-Clark You too my friend... take care.
Great video mate 👍👍 shows how wonderful the countryside is in this country
It certainly does Anthony cheers for watching fella and taking time to comment. Ride Safe my friend
That was a stunning video Steve, that's another one on the to do list. Those roads looked fantastic and what a belter of a day to do it on. Just going to press the sub' button. Ride Safe.
Hey thanks for watching fella pleased you enjoyed it and would recommend this run out to anyone. 👍 RIDE SAFE and thanks for the sub
Great video 👍🏍💨
Cheers and thanks for watching Leigh 👍
Would love to join you lads one day
Nice vid m8, nice to see a group of lads out enjoying their bikes, the roads and the scenery without trying to make it a track day and riding like loons!
Thanks for watching Gary and I agree 100% biking is all about touring around and taking in the amazing surroundings your riding in. Our crew love it ride safe my friend
Great Video Steve.
Thanks Paul keep them great vids of the new BMW coming mate
@@Steve-Clark cheers mate
the ruined castle is Barden Tower, Priest House is next door. Great video btw
Thanks for watching and for the info on Barden Tower love it when people put me right and I learn about where I've been so yeah many thanks fella Ride Safe friend
Nice ride out that, great views and nice drone footage, I don't get up Tan Hill very often, which is crazy when I am only 11 miles away from it, I need to take my drone up there soon.
You are so lucky to live that close and yeah you need to go and take your drone. Thanks for watching my friend
@@Steve-Clark yeah there are some fantastic roads right on my doorstep, definitely grateful for them, i will make it up there at some point.
@@northernrider780 I'd be out every day I could if I was lucky enough to live nearby. Ride Safe mate
@@Steve-Clark yeah I should be, but without sounding spoiled, the same things over and over year in year out do become tedious I've got to be honest, I feel like you get a bit too complacent and think you know the roads too well, I think that's my own inexperience though, which I will openly admit... Now I have the drone though I do have more of a reason to go, I also want to visit some more remains and ruins, I also have Brough Castle remains within walking distance.
@@northernrider780 let me know if you do drone footage which you upload would be interested in that.
Another great one Steve, and you’ve given me some ideas for next months lads rideout😎
Thanks Paul and if you do ride this route you will not be disappointed its great
Lovely job! Awesome roads and scenery, I wanna go now!
Blimey you are binge watching lol this run out was an amazing one which I will ride again 👍
@@Steve-ClarkLol, yeah having a catch up night! I always head south from Leicester on my bike I must start exploring north!! Looks great!
@@Hinckley_Biker defo try north my friend 👍
Same as an other, just dropped on your channel, great stuff and a great group of guys , I am only down the road from you, Lincoln and know the dales quite well, if you are doing some rides out this summer pop them on a message and will see if I can make a day out with you guys? Cheers and ride safe.
Thanks for watching this one Derek and will bear in mind about ride outs not that we do a lot of planning its normally on the day if weathers good lol
Brilliant video all around my favourite roads, wasn’t last summer the best ? Fingers crossed for this year.
Thanks for watching Richard and yeah last summer was the best let's hope for same again this year as I have lots of ideas. Ride safe my friend
Yet another great video showing the best of the UK. Enjoyed even more as this area Is in my back garden. 👍👍 do you ever do meet ups Steve??
Thanks for watching Gary, your a lucky fella living in that area of the uk. Never thought about meet ups but something you've now put in my head lol ride safe buddy
Great that you tell us road names & post codes so it’s easier to find.👍 excellent drone footage aswell.
Thanks for watching Si appreciate it, pleased you enjoyed it 👍
Hi Steve we were there last weekend and camped overnight. All the best Pal in a bit.
It's a great run out Keith isn't it. How much is camping fees there?
@@Steve-Clark Hi Steve it cost us £10 our own tent not there's. In a bit lol
@@keithsimpson7525 can't fault that price fella might think of doing that to maybe carry on somewhere else after, cheers 👍
@@Steve-Clark Hi mate yes I didn't think it was bad either. Has Russ topped up the coolant on his bike yet, he's gonna f##k it if he leaves it. Has the Pan gone now pal.
@@keithsimpson7525 Russ has not topped up yet lol but not been out for ages and actually sold the pan yesterday with deep regret , will be sadly missed as been together 12 yrs but just to heavy for me now. 😢😂
Nice one Steve, I get up that way a lot myself. Great views but don't think the narrow roads are that good my mates a cyclist so he knows all the narrow ones. Keep it up it's always worth a watch.
Cheers John thanks for watching fella and there were a few narrow ones your right but really enjoyable tho. ride safe mate
Should anyone be interested the aeroplane that buzzed you was a RAF Tucano turboprop trainer. You often see them low flying in the Lake District and North Wales as well.
Thanks Tony always enjoy extra info on things that happened or we saw on any of our trips. Cheers
Greetings from the U.S.A. Steve. Could you do a video of a ride to Stonehenge? Drone footage of the big stones would be stunning. John 0'Groots to lands end would be good too, I read about that ride as far back as 1977 in Motorcycle Weekly!
Thanks for watching fella stonehenge not in my plans at the minute but lands end to john o groats is hopefully later this year 👍 RIDE SAFE MATE
Great vid again Steve but no fish and chips in this one😂
Thanks for watching Andy and yeah no fish and chips lol but did take a ginsters pasty to eat at Tan Hill ha ride safe buddy
Been to IOM next bucket is Tan Hill.
You wont regret it my friend thanks for watching Darrell ride safe fella
I reckon my Ford Fiesta Active might have promblems on some stretches of that road, so if you see me give me as much room as you can lads as I am still running her in!
Ha ha no problem Atholl cheers for watching fella.
That was awesome mate really beautiful route do you have the route from start to finish i would love to do that with the lads in summer and a day with the wife this video was very relaxing 👍👍
Pleased you enjoyed it William and do have the GPX file of this route from the A1 at Wetherby back to the A1 again obviously the boring bit from home up the A1 have cut off. If you would like a copy let me have your email and will let you have it. Stay safe fella.
What a way to spend the day,great roads,weather,and good company ;-)
Liking the cheeky editing at the start lol ;-)
Can i ask what model Shark is your lid,and how d'you rate it ???
Ride Safe Baza
Cheers Baza for watching mate and the lid is a Shark Evoline 3 and I love it main reason is that the chin guard flips right over the back. So basically you have a 2 in 1 as a full face lid or the open face which I prefer when warm enough. Hope this helps and ride safe buddy.
Thanks for another cracking video Steve, you take us to some great places, and ideas for places to visit, yes simply stunning scenery, and that river was drier than a popcorn fart, How are you getting on with the big BMW ? Cheers and ride safe buddy.
Ha ha "drier than a popcorn fart" love it lol. really lovin the BMW now Alan thanks, cheers for watching and Ride Safe Buddy
@@Steve-Clark Just looking at the map of where you went, must try and visit in the summer, what trips have you and the boys got planned for this year Steve ?
It is a cracking run out Alan and would recommend it bigtime. At the moment we have a tour in June already booked and are heading south this year to Devon but there's lots of stuff roaming about in my head for this year, watch this space fella
Thats a route for the Nav 6,,,,Great vid Steve,,,What drone are you using,,ive just picked up a Spark so soon as the weather turns better cant wait to get out with it ,,Stay safe fella,
Thanks for watching Rick it's a cracking route to ride and I have the Mavic Pro drone but have a mate who has a spark and they are a great bit of kit 👍
Hi Steve, reckon I have watched this one before, always good to look back so we can look forward to this next season, I know we are, new R1250 in the garage waiting for the 1st March, weather will probably be rubbish. How are you keeping, ready for your first trip? Hope we can meet up this year? All the best. Derek(Lincoln)
Hi Derek we are the same waiting for some good weather so we can actually get out and ride. We have Wales booked and other plans getting there. We will have to sort a meet up at some point later in year, Ride Safe my friend.
That’s a decent run Steve. Any chance you have the Nav file for sharing?!?!... Cheers
Hi Bert yeah was a cracking run out but sorry Mussy lead on this one and Sat nav not used, ride safe mate
Steve, another great video, thank you for posting, I take it was filmed last summer.
Are you enjoying your BMW? it looks a great tourer
Thanks Alistair and your quite right this is one from last summer and I'm loving the BMW it is an amazing machine
Steve, I need your advise mate. I've been a Honda Rider for about 15 years and would like to explore the world of BMW, I've noticed that you have an ST1300 as well, do you recommend the R1200RT as I'm seriously planning to add this bike to my collection! cheers mate :)
@@goldwing7505 Hi mate I have just sold the ST1300 last month with deep regret after owning her for 12 years rode 40000 miles on her through 10 different countries but at my age now it became just to heavy for me to manually move around. The BMW R1200RT is actually 11 stone lighter and main reason I bought it but would recommend it to anyone it's a dream to ride, comfortable and handles superbly. So in answer to your question go get one they are an amazing machine. If in doubt test ride one and trust me you'll buy one, hope this helps and ride safe buddy 👍
Much appreciated thanks for the feedback, ride safe as well and keep up the great vids rolling buddy 👍@@Steve-Clark
